Irmos: God the Lord, the Son of the unoriginate Father, hath revealed Himself to us incarnate of the Virgin, to enlighten those in darkness and to gather the dispersed. Wherefore, we magnify the all-hymned Theotokos.
As one who art pure thou wast accounted worthy of divine splendor, shining with all manner of the virtues, manifestly adorned with the crown of confession; wherefore, we bless thy most festive feast.
Theotokion: The tabernacle of the witness prefigured thee, wherein were the tablets of the law, the jar holding the manna, and the golden ark; for as it contained those things, so didst thou contain the unoriginate Word incarnate in thy womb, O Theotokos.
Guided by the commandments of the Savior, O blessed one, thou didst complete thy life with understanding; and having now transcended shadows, thou hast most joyously received everlasting life as is meet, O most sacred one revealed of God.
Speedily didst thou pass through transitory tumults, O Nicetas, and rejoicing thou didst make haste to the haven of the kingdom of Christ, whereto do thou also guide us who bless thee and honor thy memory, O father.
